Description

When I try to export a book as a mPDF on pressbooksdev, the export fails and I get the following message:

This page isn’t working pressbooksdev.bccampus.ca is currently unable to handle this request. HTTP ERROR 500

Expected behaviour

When I select mPDF as an export option and try to export a book, Pressbooks creates an mPDF file for download.

Actual behaviour

When I try to export a book as an mPDF, I am shown a page with the following error message and no mPDF file is created:

This page isn’t working pressbooksdev.bccampus.ca is currently unable to handle this request. HTTP ERROR 500

Steps to reproduce the problem

  1. Select mPDF as an export option for a book in pressbooks dev.
  2. Try to export the book as an mPDF.
  3. You are redirected to the error message.

thank you for the bug report @josiegray - this ended up being a problem with our build process which was isolated to our development environment. It has been resolved, and is working now. Thanks again.
